→Steps to localizing AMO in a new language
This is a comprehensive list of steps to completely localize addons.mozilla.org's interface from English into another language.
* If you don't already have one, create a new [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/users/register AMO Account]
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi?format=specific Search Bugzilla] for the words "AMO Localization (xx)" where xx is your locale code.
** If a bug appears for your locale, then someone is already working on it. This will be a case by case basis depending on how far along the translation is, but if the bug isn't resolved, I'd suggest commenting in the bug and offering to help there.
* Assuming a bug doesn't exist, [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=addons.mozilla.org;version=3.0;component=Add-ons;bug_severity=normal;rep_platform=All;priority=--;op_sys=All;target_milestone=---;bug_status=NEW;flag_type-280=X;flag_type-287=X;flag_type-250=X;alias=;bug_file_loc=http%3A%2F%2F;short_desc=;comment=;data=;description=;contenttypemethod=autodetect;contenttypeselection=text%2Fplain;contenttypeentry=;flag_type-1=X;keywords=;dependson=;blocked=;maketemplate=Remember%20values%20as%20bookmarkable%20template;form_name=enter_bug;assigned_to=nobody%40mozilla.org;qa_contact=add-ons%40add-ons.bugs create a new bug] with a Summary of "AMO Localization (xx)" (replace xx with your locale) and a description announcing your intention to localize AMO for that locale(include your AMO account name, please!).
* Join the [https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/amo-l10n AMO l10n mailing list] so you can get notified when strings are added or changed
